Everything is looking good for tomorrow so far. Doing a special Valentines Day activity with the kids, have a special snack, and it's my midterm evaluation for my placement. Sounds like big fun, doesn't it?

Every since the parents left, the dogs have been moping. As soon as the two of them go anywhere, the dogs just mope and act as though the bottom has fallen out of their world. Even though we don't treat them any different, they just lose themselves.

The kids are getting excited for Valentines day, especially since they have been doing Valentines day stuff all week, such as painting pictures, making crafts, and singing brand new songs.

It's probably comforting to my parents for them to know that while they're gone on vacation, I maintain my usual level of cooking.

As an extra today, another picture of our awesome ice castle. Apparently we'll be making another one with the morning kindergarten class.

I can certainly recommend seeing Winterlude to people who haven't seen it yet. And while we have this ice and snow, my parents are enjoying sand and sun.

Went to the museum of nature today. I love that place, except the jury is still out on whether I like the new set up to the place after all the construction.

Today we made an ice castle. Some water, a little bit of food colouring, a bunch of plastic containers and no less than 2 freezers, and you have an activity that the kids completely and totally enjoyed. Who wouldn't love playing around with colourful ice?

Is it Friday yet? I wish it was Friday, I've been in a bit of a snit all day and I'm not too sure why.

Today I got to see baby gamers in action. The kids were learning how to play a board game. It's actually very good for social development, since they need to learn to take turns, that they won't always be winning, and that sometimes they lose. It was pretty easy to see which ones had rolled a pair of dice before and which hadn't.

It was also easy to tell which kids always won the game when they played with mommy and daddy.

These birds have heard the news. The groundhog saw his shadow.
